Cherries: Dutch pair in contention

DUTCH duo Lorenzo Davids and Frank Demouge could be in line to make their first appearances for Cherries tomorrow.

Demouge signed for the Dorset club from FC Utrecht over the summer but has been sidelined with a knee injury.

The striker received a welcome boost last month when a specialist confirmed the knee would not require surgery and the 30-year-old could be in contention when Walsall visit Goldsands Stadium in League One tomorrow.

Davids, meanwhile, has also been laid up with a knee injury since putting the finishing touches to a two-year deal earlier this month.

Saints loan signing Lee Barnard could also return to action tomorrow.

Striker Barnard has missed Cherries’ past four matches after sustaining an ankle injury during the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy tie at Portsmouth on September 4.

Shaun MacDonald (calf) is out, while Richard Hughes (thigh) and Harry Arter (knee) are both doubtful for the visit of the Saddlers.

Simon Francis (knee) is likely to be out of action for around six weeks.

Cherries: (from) Jalal, Cook, Elphick, Addison, Daniels, Fogden, Partington, O’Kane, McDermott, Grabban, Tubbs, Zubar, Thomas, Meades, McQuoid, Wakefield, Fletcher, Barnard, Demouge, Davids, Buchel, James.

Saddlers: (from) Darlow, Butler, Holden, Purkiss, A Taylor, Featherstone, Cuvelier, Baxendale, Grigg, Paterson, Bowerman, Taundry, Downing, J Jones, Hemmings, Brandy, C Taylor, Grof.

Isn't Zubar able to play right back???

I'm sure I remember him playing a few games there. Although playing in CB position he is pretty solid.

Grabban Davids Fogden McDermott

Tubbs Barnard

Jalal, Addison, Partington, O'Kane, Demouge, McQuoid, Meades

4-4-2 'NO DIAMOND!!!!!'

Yeah I think ZUBAR can play right back.

I like the James(C) idea, it really could work!!!

Hopefully he won't be playing rush-goalie??!!

Would like to see Demouge Fletch & Eddie M on the bench in case Walsall get physical and would also get Tom filming the match DVD - Groves & Brooks on the half-time refreshments!

A miracle recovery! more to do with poor ticket sales than any thing else I suspect - they must be desperate not to see the gate plunge towards the 4500 mark.Agree about Zubar - but Groves doesn't seem to like him, is now talking about bringing a right back on loan, a position that Zubar can play in - though would rather see a Zubar - Cook partnership return in central defence- it did well enough last Season.

After last week's abject performance, I don't think we'll ever see Donal McDermott in the red & black again, certainly not as long as The Clueless One remains at the helm.

After last week neither Mcdermott or Fogden should get anywhere near the team, they were awful. As for Davids in midfield he has no match fitness so probably won't start for a while. I see Addison has plumeted in people estimations as well.

I wasn't there last week but if McDermott was as bad as reported then what a waste of talent! That guy really has magic feet surely someone can bring him on. I would say the last time I remember seeing him at DC he was brought on and making some good movement, but the rest of the team did not seem to be linking with him and he did understandibly get frustrated up with this, are there issues??

Fogden, well whenever I seen him play he tries his hardest, though I saw his mistake for the Ritchie goal on TV, was the rest of his game that bad?

Addison, certainly gets in the way of the ball but looks very clumsy and immobile, not generally impressed.

Hopefully will be more like 3 or 4 nil to Walsall, so Dumb and Dumber and the no knowledge kid get booted out under instruction from the Rusky.
Maybe see a drunken rant tomorrow?
